About Michelle

Michelle Consavage, LMSW, centers her work on people seeking relief from stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and the everyday impact of ADHD.

Background and approach

With 24 years of experience practicing in Michigan, she aims to meet clients where they are and help them build practical tools for coping with life changes, managing mood and anger, and improving self-esteem. Her background includes supporting those facing trauma and abuse, chronic illness, family conflicts, and other concerns such as career challenges and parenting stress.

She draws from several therapeutic traditions, blending client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas also inform her work when exploring patterns, motivation, and deeper personal themes.

Michelle describes her overall method as holistic and spiritual-minded, attending to mind, body, and spirit while tailoring treatment to each person’s specific needs. She offers sessions in English and delivers services via video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Michelle integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people understand their feelings and change the patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Client-centered work emphasizes empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so clients feel heard and respected, while CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and coping.

She also uses mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness and reduce stress, offering techniques that support emotional regulation and help manage symptoms like anxiety or impulsivity. Finding the right combination of methods is a collaborative process; the therapist will work with each client to choose approaches that align with their goals, preferences, and life situation rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy with Michelle is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules and differing comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions and practice new skills between meetings, supporting steady progress while accommodating the practicalities of everyday life.
